Subscribe/Renew Journal
India has witnessed an upward trend in the loodgrain output due to introduction of seed-fertiliser - water technology in the post-green revolution period. However this technology revolution could gain momentum only in Some select regions of the country and that too in terms of some cereal crops like rice and wheat. By and large, the impact of new technology, popularly known as HYV, was tardy and dismal in the case of pulses and coarse cereals.
